Bubble O' Bill is a super fun ice cream treat! It's a type of frozen dessert that you can buy in Australia and New Zealand. This cool ice cream is made by a company called Streets, which is part of a bigger company called Unilever.
Did you know Bubble O' Bill was also sold in other countries? In the United States, it was sold by Good Humor. In the United Kingdom, it was sold by Wall's.
The name "Bubble O' Bill" is a clever play on words. It sounds a bit like "Buffalo Bill", a famous cowboy from history. The ice cream itself looks like a cowboy! Its most special feature is a gumball right where the nose should be.
What's Inside Bubble O' Bill?
Bubble O' Bill is an ice cream on a stick. It's shaped like a cowboy wearing a big hat. The ice cream uses three different flavors to create its unique look.
The cowboy's face is made of yummy strawberry ice cream. He has cool caramel details for his mustache. His big hat is made of chocolate ice cream. There's even a small hole in the hat, like a bullet hole from a cowboy movie! The back of the ice cream is covered in a layer of dark chocolate.
Instead of a nose, there's a colorful gumball. This gumball is why it's called "Bubble O' Bill"! The packaging usually shows a pink gumball. But you might find gumballs of different colors, like green or yellow.
A Bit of History
The Bubble O' Bill ice cream first came out in the United States in 1985. It was launched by a company called Good Humor in New Jersey.
But Bubble O' Bill became super popular in Australia! It's still a favorite treat there today. People love its unique cowboy shape and, of course, its fun bubblegum nose.
For a while, there was a similar ice cream in Australia. It looked like a famous TV puppet character named Agro and also had a bubblegum nose. That one was made by Pauls.
